Fortune telling? How do you explain your hand-drawn lightning magic and sword flight?

Standing on the sword-training ground he had created, Chen Xuan had no intention of going back immediately.

At his level of cultivation, he could go three to five days without sleep without any problem.

Then Chen Xuan took the Jade Dragon Slash in his hand and began to practice swordsmanship according to the various sword techniques recorded in "Earth Immortal Volume 5".

As the swordplay unfolded, Chen Xuan quickly entered a state of selfless practice and enlightenment.

When I came to my senses again, I found that the moon had already set in the west and the sun had already risen in the east.

"Time flies by too fast during this moment of enlightenment; it's already seven in the morning?"

After storing the Jade Dragon Slayer in the system space, Chen Xuan returned the way he came.

During the journey, he observed the surrounding terrain and made a decision in his heart.

"Now I believe that a teacher must ensure the safety of his or her disciple before she is fully developed."

Chen Xuan thought of the general principles of array formations, and many great arrays swirled in his mind. Soon, Chen Xuan selected the great array that suited his current level of array formation skills.

"The matter of Linglong has already been made public. Those with ulterior motives will inevitably sneak up the mountain. Why don't I just close off the path up the mountain?"

With his plans in mind, Chen Xuan returned to Feixian Temple.

I thought Jiang Linglong was still engrossed in her cultivation, but when I went into the backyard, I found that the girl was actually cooking, just like me.

"Master, you're back?"

Jiang Linglong excitedly approached Chen Xuan, carrying a porcelain bowl. "Master, this is porridge I cooked. Would you like to try it?"

Chen Xuan was somewhat surprised, never expecting that Jiang Linglong, a carp, would be able to cook human food.

"Hehe, this is because I couldn't break through my cultivation level before, so I thought I would go to the mortal world to find an opportunity to break through, and that's how I learned these things."

Chen Xuan took the rice porridge from Jiang Linglong, reached out and ruffled her hair, and smiled, "You almost got killed in the last few calamities, is that because of this?"

Jiang Linglong stuck out her tongue sheepishly, "I was already very careful, but they actually had an ancient mirror on them, and they knew my identity from a great distance."

"Master, do you know what that mirror is? Why can it so easily see through my transformed form?"

Seeing the eager look in his disciple's eyes, Chen Xuan smiled.

"That kind of magical artifact is called a demon-revealing mirror. A good quality one can easily sense demonic energy within a radius of 300 meters."

"Huh?" Jiang Linglong was immediately frightened when she heard this.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, my disciple. I'll take you down the mountain this afternoon. When we get there, I'll have an old friend help you buy some daily necessities, while I'll go and buy some materials for array refining. Once I've finished refining that magic weapon that can conceal your aura, you can take it with you. Then you won't have to worry about being discovered by the demon-revealing mirror when you go out."

"Great, thank you, Master."

Jiang Linglong was overjoyed. She had cultivated for three hundred years but had never been to any of the big cities that humans talked about.

Moreover, her master is too good to her. Not only did he help her withstand the inevitable lightning tribulation, but he also gave her a safe place to cultivate. Now her master is going to make a magic weapon for her to cover up her demonic aura.

Jiang Linglong was incredibly intelligent and simple-minded, her big eyes blinking as she looked at Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan smiled and led his disciple into the Dao Ancestor's Hall. While drinking porridge, he explained to Jiang Linglong the method of multitasking during cultivation.

Jiang Linglong truly lives up to his reputation as a spirit who has cultivated for three hundred years. Although he has no lineage or inheritance, he can understand the mysteries of the world with just a little guidance when he encounters an opportunity.

Chen Xuan originally thought that teaching the Daoist principles from scratch would be very time-consuming and laborious, but he did not expect that his disciple's comprehension was so easy to understand. He only had to explain the method and give a simple example, and she understood it and could even use reverse examples to verify it.

"Good, as expected of a disciple who can make me forget the thought of taking him as a disciple, his comprehension is amazing."

Jiang Linglong smiled happily when praised by her master in person.

Seeing that Chen Xuan had finished his congee, he hurriedly took the bowl and sent it back to the kitchen.

Chen Xuan also returned to his residence, took a bath and changed his clothes, because there was an important matter to be held in the morning.

Formal acceptance of disciples must be conducted in front of the Three Pure Ones, so that Jiang Linglong can gain the recognition and protection of the patriarchs.

Accepting disciples, taking refuge, transmitting the Dharma, and giving instructions...

After going through a series of complicated procedures, it was already past 10 a.m.

Chen Xuan looked at the wisps of smoke rising from the incense burner and said to Jiang Linglong, "Aside from the fact that my master was a little displeased with my improper attire, I have already explained that there was a reason for it, so the Dao Ancestor did not pursue the matter."

Jiang Linglong glanced at her red dress, which had several holes in it, and lowered her head in shame.

"Alright, from now on you are a disciple of my Zhengyi Sect. Even though you are a demon, you will still be protected by your master."

Jiang Linglong was startled. After the rain stopped, the sky cleared, and he hurriedly knelt down and worshipped the clay statue of the Taoist Ancestor.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan nodded in satisfaction, "Alright, after the ceremony, I will take you down the mountain."

"Uh-huh."

After the two left Feixian Temple, Chen Xuan casually sent a message to Wang Wenjing.

Wang Wenjing: [Oh my god? The Taoist priest actually contacted me? Was my account hacked? Or did I lose my phone?]

Chen Xuan: [We'll reach the foot of the mountain in an hour. We need your help with something.]

Wang Wenjing: [Master, you're being too polite. Okay, I'll drive over and wait for you right now.]

Chen Xuan: [Thank you.]

After ending the WeChat chat, Jiang Linglong tilted her head and looked curiously at the thing in Chen Xuan's hand. "Master, what kind of magic artifact is this? I've seen so many people have it?"

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "You will have one after you go down the mountain. This thing is extraordinary; it is the crystallization of the highest human wisdom and is known as a technological product."

As expected, Jiang Linglong grasped the cultivation method immediately.

When it comes to technology, especially chips and artificial intelligence, this girl gets completely lost.

"Although we are dedicated to cultivating the Tao, we cannot be out of touch with the world. Like some powerful artillery shells or nuclear weapons, even if I, your master, were hit by one, I would die on the spot and have to go find your grandmaster, do you understand?"

"Oh? So technology is this amazing?" Jiang Linglong exclaimed in surprise, then turned her big eyes to look at Chen Xuan. "But in my eyes, Master is still the most amazing."

"Your lips are as sweet as honey." Chen Xuan couldn't help but ruffle Jiang Linglong's white hair. "You'll gradually learn about these things once you have your own phone. We don't need to know how it's made; we just need to know how to deal with it when we encounter it."

"Uh-huh."

As Jiang Linglong asked all sorts of curious questions along the way, Chen Xuan answered them with great enthusiasm.

Soon, the two of them walked along the winding mountain road as if on flat ground to reach the scenic area at the foot of the mountain.

The parking lot at Tangwushan Scenic Area is filled with all kinds of luxury cars.

Before Chen Xuan could even calculate Wang Wenjing's location, Wang Wenjing got out of a top-of-the-line domestically produced Hongqi minivan to greet the two of them.

Given Wang Wenjing's obsession with Chen Xuan, she would never miss a single live stream, so she naturally knew that Jiang Linglong had become Chen Xuan's personal disciple.

She hadn't thought much about it during the video yesterday, but upon seeing Jiang Linglong in person today, she was immediately amazed.

Aside from her slightly immature face and the figure of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, Jiang Linglong was otherwise perfect.

She was especially envious of her long, snow-white hair that reached past her knees and her clear, expressive eyes.

"This is...?"

Wang Wenjing carefully examined the red-clad, white-haired girl following Chen Xuan and said meaningfully.

“My disciple, Jiang Linglong,” Chen Xuan said.

Jiang Linglong also looked at Wang Wenjing with curiosity. This was the first time he had ever seen such a beautiful human after cultivating for so many years.

"Taoist priest, little sister, please get in the car."

Wang Wenjing smiled, immediately opened the car door, and gestured for them to enter.

"Thank you."

Jiang Linglong, who was riding in a car for the first time, seemed very excited, looking around at the surrounding buildings.

Chen Xuan, unlike his usual taciturn self, took the initiative to talk about the purpose of bringing Wang Wenjing out this time.

After hearing Chen Xuan's awkward words, Wang Wenjing suppressed a laugh and readily agreed, saying that she would handle the matter.

"Thank you for your trouble. You know I'm her master, and those places aren't easy to go to."

Wang Wenjing couldn't hold back any longer and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, I understand, I understand perfectly."

Jiang Linglong was completely confused by their conversation, but seeing that her master didn't seem inclined to explain, she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Soon, the car arrived at a location in the core business district of Tangwu City and parked.

Before getting out of the car, Chen Xuan took out his phone and took a picture of Jiang Linglong with her ears showing. Then he instructed Jiang Linglong to stay with Wang Wenjing and not to run around, etc.

Jiang Linglong was initially somewhat resistant, after all, even if this older sister was easy to get along with, she was still not her master.

"Disciple has noted it down. How long will it take for Master to return?"

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Soon, we will not go down the mountain easily. Consider this your first experience and see what a human city is like. Only when you have mastered the Dao will I feel at ease letting you go into the world alone to refine your mind."

"Uh-huh."

Seeing Chen Xuan's earnest and patient explanation to Jiang Linglong, and his deep concern, Wang Wenjing felt a pang of sadness.

It wasn't that she was jealous, but rather that she now understood how much importance the Taoists placed on selecting and training disciples.

In reality, the Taoist sect's selection of disciples, especially direct disciples, is extremely rigorous and serious, given the immense karmic consequences involved. They are always extremely careful in their selection process.

Once a master has made a decision, they will almost always treat the student as a family member and teach them the Way, without exception.

After giving instructions to Jiang Linglong, Chen Xuan turned and left, heading towards his destination.

Jiang Linglong, who was in the car, looked up until her gaze was completely out of Chen Xuan's departing figure before turning to Wang Wenjing and saying, "Sister, Master said he needs your help. Thank you for your help this time."

Seeing how cute and sensible Jiang Linglong was, Wang Wenjing subconsciously reached out to touch Jiang Linglong's white hair, but Jiang Linglong dodged before her hand even got close.

Wang Wenjing came to her senses and felt a little embarrassed. How could she treat Jiang Linglong like an ordinary girl?

"Um, well... I'll take you shopping for clothes first, then we'll go eat something delicious, and finally we'll take you to buy a phone?"

"Yes, thank you for your trouble, sister."

Jiang Linglong nodded and then got out of the car with Wang Wenjing.

However, after getting off the bus, passersby were immediately attracted by Jiang Linglong's unique white long hair, and many people exclaimed in surprise when they saw her face.

Upon seeing this, Wang Wenjing immediately took out a white mask from her Chanel bag and put it on Jiang Linglong. Then, she personally took Jiang Linglong's hand and walked into the shopping mall.

Because of the short time, fortunately no passersby recognized Jiang Linglong as Chen Xuan's disciple, otherwise her identity would have been exposed.

However, Jiang Linglong's snow-white, knee-length hair, combined with her red dress with several holes, was too distinctive. After a brief moment of thought, Wang Wenjing came up with a solution.

"Linglong, let's buy clothes first. If you want to eat anything later, or if you see anything you like, just tell your sister. Don't worry about spending money, your sister has money. No, your master gave your sister a lot of money before he left."

"Uh-huh."

As the two entered the top-tier shopping mall, Jiang Linglong was also deeply attracted by the bright, spacious, and luxurious decor before her.

In the past, when she transformed into human form and walked on land, she always heard farmers talk about how prosperous and desirable big cities were, but she never had any imagination about it. This time, however, she finally saw it for herself.

After parting ways with the two women, Chen Xuan went straight to the antique and jade market in Tangwu City.

Chen Xuanke had none of the materials needed for refining magical artifacts or the core materials needed for refining array formations.

Therefore, this trip down the mountain was to solve multiple problems at once.

Chen Xuan, dressed in simple Taoist robes, walked through the jade and antique market without attracting much attention.

This is because it is not only a jade and antique market, but also the largest market for Buddhist and Taoist supplies in Tangwu City.

"I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to find suitable refining materials here?"
